I have been a licensed skin therapist and professional makeup artist for twelve years. Over the years I found my passion in working with clients to enhance their natural beauty through  makeup & skin-care. I started Powder Me Pretty in 2009 as my love for weddings and working with brides started to grow. I believe a wedding day is one of the most beautiful and significant days of a persons life and I truly feel honored every time a bride invites me in to be a small part of their very special day.

When I am not creating art with my clients I am spending my days with my three young daughters, Isabella, River, and Olive, and my own darling, Brian. On any given day we can be found adventuring and exploring new places, wandering and taking in life in places we have been a thousand times, or just cozying up at home making art, dressing up, and playing make believe. 

“Beauty isn’t about having a pretty face. It is about having a pretty mind, a pretty heart, and most importantly a beautiful soul.”

I also offer services for all special events, personal one-on-one makeup tutorials, film, & photo shoots for personal sessions and branding.

I live a very blessed life right here in Western North Carolina. Married to a wonderful man for 9 years now, Jason and I have the joy of raising our two gorgeous children, Ava and Nolan in this beautiful place. I have been a licensed cosmetologist since 2009 and worked in a salon environment up until August of 2016. I loved my job and the women I worked with but I longed to be a stay at home mom. With that being said though I didn't want to leave the beauty industry completely. Thankfully early on in my career I had started doing weddings and loved being a part of that atmosphere. Joanna and I have been doing weddings together for a few years now and I feel very honored to be a part of her business. It allows me to do something I love, be a part of someones special day and stay at home with my babies. I am thankful for the position I have here at Powder Me Pretty and I love what I do!

I have been mastering the “art of hair” for a decade now. Over this time, I have had the pleasure of working with many amazing brides in and around the Asheville area. I pride myself in making sure a bride feels comfortable. Listening and asking questions are the best ways to insure a positive experience! Since the beginning my goal has remained the same; to give every bride that stunning look that makes them feel confidently beautiful! From sleek and classic to soft and undone, my expertise allows me to create several unique styles to please any bride!
